Consoles / Handhelds that I have owned
My console history
My console history
First console I ever owned, I remember playing Hang On, Space Harrier, Sonic, Wonderboy and a few sports games.
You could watch TV on this thing :o & it could take Master System carts with an adapter & had a colour screen! It was really ahead of it's time & something that I really enjoyed using, I wish I still had it :-( At the time I can remember thinking that the quality of the screen was amazing :o I loved Columns & some random Batman game
Had the original GB & also the clear GB Pocket, didn't have many games as I was more of a PC gamer even back then, but I remember some 007 James Bond game, Star Wars & of course Mario & Zelda
UK Launch day with a Playstation record bag, Battle Arena Toshinden, ESPN Extreme Games & Ridge Racer & a demo disc with about 20 demos that I played for months! :-)
The only console I still have hooked up, bought one just before it got "retired" from the market :-( Some of my favourite games of all time are on this system & I can still enjoy certain DC classics even today, such as Metropolis Street Racer & F355 Challenge.
Initially bought it for Turok & things just got better from there with Goldeneye ending up as my favourite game with Banjo & Kazooie a close second.
UK Launch day for Halo, this thing was HUGE not just the old Duke controller but the console itself was big. Halo was amazing & made me love FPS games all over again just this time on a console not a PC, & it would only be until Crysis that I went back to the PC.
My first PS2 was a silver slimline console which I bought for Shadow of the Colossus & God of War, the 24 game (which was pretty great).
UK Launch day for Project Gotham Racing 3 & Call of Duty 2, which eventually brought me to my favourite game of all time Geometry Wars 2!!!!!!!! By way of a few gem in the meanwhile like Oblivion & Rez HD, Lumines Live, Mass Effect, Bioshock etc etc.......
UK Launch day with Ridge Racer & Darkstalkers and of course that Spiderman UMD, eventually Lumines became an almost permant fixture along side Wipeout & RR
DS Lite for New Super Mario Bros & not much else :-/
A blue GBA Micro which I loved playing Jet Grind Radio & Metroid
